¨A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS¨ BY ROBERT BOLT.-


In our last class I reminded one book we read in our fifth course at the EOI which can give you a lot of historical information of the Tudor Dynasty, especially with regard Henry VIII reign,
Elisabeth´s I father. The book is called ¨A man for all seasons¨ by Robert Bolt and also the movie with the same title which was translated into Spanish as ¨Un hombre para la eternidad¨.

The book is a play and its main character is Thomas Moore, Lord Chancellor of England and catholic, who enters into political and moral conflict with King Henry VIII when he refuses to
support the King´s decision to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon. Thomas Moore is an example of eloquence and personal freedom in an authoritarian regimen such as Henry VII reign.

I really recommend it to you!
